Maybe that can help you, or for another interested TR1 Driver, who wants to repair a starter.....

Thanks. All those that replied. The cost of new or used starters in the UK is unbelivable. Looking at the USA and Canada, prices and availability are good. The one's on E Bay appear best. Two part numbers are specified. 5A-81800-60-00 is the number from Yamaha UK, but some USA sources use 5A-81800-10-00 as Ok for both XV1000 & XV1100. I thought that this was because the 1100 used a 4 pole motor. I purchased one from a guy with a handle of '14 rebuilders' on E Bay under the 60 number and he assures me that it is also the more powerful 4 pole one. £87 including UPS delivery, half the cheapest price I found in the UK.
All I need now is the Actuation Solenoid, part number 5A8-86110-50-00. Does anyone have a spare?
